Really? that is actually awesome. If you don’t mind, where is “here”
My understanding was that it was generally time prohibitive for buses as you would need to return to the depot a lot more often and wait for 10-20 minutes each time. Although could see a mix of fast charging and keeping a very low overall percentage helping out. Although, that can’t be great for the batteries themselves.

Here the trains and busses are both electric, and the buses charge with overhead chargers at the main bus station.

“Here” is in the Netherlands. Now don’t get me wrong, we definitely do not use them everywhere (yet), but it’s viable at least.
